Hi  Ron,
I have experimented with both covering the entire slot,  and leaving a small 
gap. I really don't notice much difference. I think before  Pat Missin turned 
me on to the microfiber material I'm now using, I left a  small gap to lessen 
the potential buzzing on the opposite reed. This newer  material (which is not 
in the photos) seems to eliminate the buzzing  altogether. So now I cut the 
microfiber to cover the whole slot. However, by  leaving a small gap you get a 
closer sound to a non valved reed by allowing  some air to get through. This 
is a small window because if you trim back to  much you will not be able to do 
the valve bend.
Hope this  helps.



Thanks, PT.  That did help.  But u forgot to tell where we can  get that new 
windsaver material.  
Anybody know?
